WATCH: David Byrne’s Tiny Desk and His Anti-Holiday Playlist
David Byrne is the latest big-name artist to take on NPR’s famously cramped Tiny Desk, squeezing his 13-piece band into the office—though the setup wasn’t too far off from his new Who Is The Sky? tour, which also keeps the musicians close together.
They played “Everybody Laughs” and “Don’t Be Like That” from the new album, plus Talking Heads favorites “Nothing But Flowers” and “Life During Wartime.” Watch it below.
Byrne also shared a new seasonal playlist, Christmas Music for People Who Hate Christmas Music, featuring tracks by Run-DMC, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Yellowman, Prince, Sufjan Stevens, The Staple Singers, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Neko Case, Tierra Whack, Phoebe Bridgers, The Decemberists, Sabrina Carpenter, Captain Beefheart, and more—closing with his own “Fat Man’s Comin’.”
